Korean Eye 2012, a major survey of Korean contemporary, will open at Saatchi Gallery in London on July 27.
Korean artists have largely remained under the radar of international collectors, overshadowed by the fandom created around several Chinese contemporary artists, yet the Korean contemporary art scene is rich and vibrant, with artists exploring a wide range of issues, from everyday life to pop culture and virtual reality, through a variety of innovative media..

The exhibition highlights an exciting group of artists who have recently emerged on the global art scene and demonstrated the very diverse range of influences enveloping them.from fluency with technology and incredible attention to design and detail, to more historic factors, such as western classical art and Korea’s many years of occupation by foreign powers.
